dnf -y update fails during NIMADM Phase 7 script

  • 1.  dnf -y update fails during NIMADM Phase 7 script

    Posted Thu February 10, 2022 06:16 AM
    I'm using NIMADM to upgrade AIX 7.1 to 7.3 and, at the same time (Phase 7 script, chroot environment), updating various "layered products" and installing/updating DNF. When running NIMADM I'm NOT using caching because the filesystems get compressed when brought back to the NIM which means /opt isn't large enough to install DNF.

    If I run the DNF install and DNF "update" manually on the AIX 7.3 LPAR it works fine. If I run the DNF install and the DNF "update" via NIMADM (Phase 7 script, chroot environment) the DNF install works fine however the DNF "update" fails.

    Here's a code snippet from the post migration script run during Phase 7 of NIMADM.

    echo Installing DNF
cd /var/tmp/AIX73dnf
./install_dnf.sh -d
echo Return code is: $?
echo Setting PATH
PATH=$PATH:/opt/freeware/bin
export PATH
echo PATH now $PATH

echo Running dnf -y install for various additional packages
dnf -y install bash-doc.ppc emacs.ppc emacs-nox.ppc wget.ppc unzip.ppc zip.ppc
echo Running updtvpkg Second execution
updtvpkg​

    Here are the messages I receive and wonder what I can do to overcome this:

    Posted Thu February 10, 2022 08:37 AM
    We have not tried running dnf migration with  nimadm but I think it should work.
    One change in step, we should run updtvpkg before install dnf in the script.
    Do you already have yum or other package manager installed in this system ? 
    Not sure about the DISK I/O error, it could be in the DB. I hope there is enough disk and filesystem space.

    Sanket,

    Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

    I've updated the script as per your recommendation and am re-running the whole process now.  My "test" AIX 7.1 LPAR doesn't have an Package Manager installed and there's plenty of space.

    Hi Steve,

    Is it possible to run till Step 6 and leave the alternate file system as it is in mounted situation and then run the commands of post migration ?
    Before running the dnf update please verify if you have an write access to the files present in chrooted /var/lib/dnf.

    Sangamesh,

    Hi, once Phase 6 has been run the alternate file system remains mounted, yes, as that's the target file system the post migration script (called by NIMADM Phase 7) executes against.

    I'll re-run to Phase 6 and see what I can find out for you.

    Thanks, Steve

    I re-ran the NIMADM phases 1 through 6 and then modified the post migration script called by Phase 7 to check for /var/lib/dnf before running dnf install.

    • Checking for /var/lib/dnf (pre dnf install) returned "not found" (as expected)
    • Successfully ran dnf install (from within the script so "in" the chroot environment)

    • Re-checked for /var/lib/dnf (from within the script so "in" the chroot environment) returned "not found"!!!!

    This is all I see on the NIM with the various filesystems mounted for the client LPAR.

    Posted Tue February 15, 2022 02:11 AM
    Hi Steve,

    The default sqlite database files are created in the path /var/lib/dnf.
    In this case i think we explicitly need to provide the chrooted sqlite db path.
    We can do this by using persistdir configuration option in dnf.conf.
    Can you edit the /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf file and add the new entry as "persistdir=/<LPAR>_alt/alt_inst/var/lib/dnf" and run the dnf update ?

    Posted Fri February 18, 2022 06:44 AM
    Hi Steve,

    This error is related to accessing and updating the sqlite database.
    I tried to check if having remote mount path as sqlite database works and i got the similar error.

    Here is the error if we manually try to access the db.

    # sqlite3 /mnt/history.sqlite
    SQLite version 3.35.5 2021-04-19 18:32:05
    Enter ".help" for usage hints.
    sqlite> .table
    Error: disk I/O error
    sqlite>

    Need to find out yet why sqlite is not able to run update query with mount path and alt_inst mount paths.

    As a workaround can you add "dnf update" to the first boot script (/etc/firstboot).
    In NIM it can be copied or created using fb_script resource on NIM server
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=resources-using-fb-script-resource


    Also, you can run the "dnf update" once you boot into the alternate disk.

    Hi, thanks for the update and it's good to know you've also seen the issue.  Agreed, I can use one of the two workarounds for now whilst we wait to hear from you regarding why sqlite has this issue along with a resolution.

    Many thanks, Steve

    Hi Steve,
     Please find few pointers as below:
    A) It is recommended to use the cache to avoid any NFS issues during alternate disk migration.
    [ Reference link : https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/using-nim-alternate-disk-migration-nimadm#:~:text=NIMADM%20stands%20for%20Network%20Install%20Manager%20Alternate%20Disk,a%20new%20version%20or%20release%20level%20of%20AIX.
    Line of interest : "Nothing else is required but it is recommended to enter a volume group for disk caching in order to avoid NFS issues." ]

    So using cache should solve the problem you are facing but looks like you have some limitations there & want to work without cache on NIMServer.

    B) So for your case, another way to avoid this problem could be by passing "llock" option for mounting, this can be done in following ways:
    1. In # smitty nimadm
    NFS mounting options [llock]

    2. In nimadm cmd by passing "-m NFSMountOptions"
    Specifies arguments that are passed to the mount command that mounts client resources on the master. 

    Also, after phase 6 ensure in mount command o/p  for client mounts "llock" option is used.

    e.g : nimadm -c idevp8-lp9 -s 2204A_73B_spot -l 2204A_73B_lpp_source -Y -d hdisk1 -m "llock" -z postmig -D
    Using NFS remote mounted sqlite DB causes some locking issues as we can see from sqlite DB community discussions.
    [ ref. link & lines: https://sqlite.org/faq.html#q5
    Line of interest : But use caution: this locking mechanism might not work correctly if the database file is kept on an NFS filesystem. This is because fcntl() file locking is broken on many NFS implementations.
    ]
    Hope this helps.

    Taru,

    Thanks very much for coming back to me on this.  As you say, we can't use the cache as it reduces the fs size and I need space for the DNF install so Plan B.2 seems to be the path to follow.

    I'll try the below and see where that takes me.

    nimadm -l 730lpp_res -c <LPAR-name> -s 730spot_res -z AIX73postmigration -m "llock" -d hdisk1 -Y​

    ** UPDATE **

    Having found that the process seemed to "lock up" when using "llock" I decided to circle back and review what I really needed/wanted to do.  As a result I decided that the following might be a better option for me.

    echo ==================
echo Running Phases 1-6
echo ==================
nimadm -j nimadmvg -l 730lpp_res -c $1 -s 730spot_res -z AIX73postmigration -d $2 -P1,2,3,4,5,6 -Y
echo ==============================================
echo Re-expanding filesystems before installing DNF
echo ==============================================
chfs -a size=8G /$1_alt/alt_inst/opt
chfs -a size=16G /$1_alt/alt_inst/var
chfs -a size=2G /$1_alt/alt_inst/tmp
echo ===================
echo Running Phases 7-12
echo ===================
nimadm -j nimadmvg -l 730lpp_res -c $1 -s 730spot_res -z AIX73postmigration -d $2 -P7,8,9,10,11,12 -Y​

    In effect it was what I had  been doing (manually) as I'd run Phases 1-6, manually re-expand the three filesystems I needed, and then complete Phases 7-12.

    Within the AIX73postmigration.sh script, along with the "layered" products I needed to update, I was able to install dnf and selectively install/update the required rpms.  I did find that the searching of AIX repos took some time and, in fact, it timed out for a dnf update -y so (for now) I've not included that in the revised script.

    I Sangamesh,

    I try to migrate do DNF during phase 7 of nimadm using a VG for caching. I increase the size of filesystems on the NIM server. I run command updtvpkg before install_dnf.sh -y. The same command  works well when I boot on the disk, it looks like it is a nimadm issue.

    I get the following message :

    Hi Samy,

    Please provide the list of rpm packages installed on the nim client.

    Are you setting any LIBPATH in the post migration script ?

    Hello Sangamesh,

     

    Sorry, I just realize I sent NIM server rpm list to you instead of client as you asked for.

     

    NIM client rpm list is attached to this e-mail.

    Hi Samy,

    Thanks for the providing the list of rpm packages.

    Please could you also provide the migrate_yum_to_dnf.sh script you are using.

    I think this script is modified version of dnf_aixtoolbox.sh (install_dnf.sh) ?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    The script is as follow :

    #!/bin/ksh

    LOG=/tmp/migrate_yum_to_dnf.log

    exec 2>&1 > $LOG

    unset http_proxy

    /opt/freeware/bin/wget -q http://<internal server>/aix/dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    tar xf dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    installp -acXYd. openssl.base openssl.license openssl.man.en_US

    updtvpkg

    ./install_dnf.sh -y

    I just added openssl packages to  https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    A diff on install_dnf.sh shows no difference between the script version I am using and the one provided by the IBM tar ball.

    By the way, when I boot the LPAR on AIX 7.3 after nimadm migration, my scripts works. To me it looks like a chroot side effect…

    Thanks for the help

    Regards

    Samy

    Hi Mr. Steve , 

    I'm having the same problem when installing DNF install and DNF update , however, were you able to solve the problem? To be able to execute step 7 with script in NIMADM? Can I increase a Filesystem of type <LPAR>/alt_disk..../opt ? for example ? Thank you very much for contributing to this forum. To Mr. SANKETHI RATHI too. We await a response. I am migrating my environment from AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3.

    Emerson,

    Hi, good day to you.

    In answer to your question, I always expanded the filesystem (after Phase 6 and before Phase 7) and so haven't tried expanding the FS "within" the Phase 7 script I have to say.

    With specific reference to DNF: I originally added an inittab entry to run the dnf install during the re-boot (to AIX 7.3) however this, then, conflicted with our vNIC conversion (SEA > vNIC) work and so we now simply run the dnf install/update script manually once we've completed the vNIC conversion process.

    Regards, Steve
